Glass envelopes and bulbs for electric lighting, other types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7011 10 90 (other glass envelopes and bulbs for electric lighting) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished electric lamps and light sources classified elsewhere in Chapter 85 may carry compliance obligations distinct from the bare glass envelopes covered here.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to open, unfitted glass envelopes and bulbs — not to assembled lighting products. Re-classification by customs from this line to a Chapter 85 tariff covering finished lamps or light sources triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Verify that the goods are genuinely unfitted glass components, not partially assembled lamp units, before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Fitted or assembled electric lamps and light sources are classified under Chapter 85 and may attract compliance obligations under separate tariff lines, including potential Quality Control Order coverage.
